Free downloads
This is where you can find a range of free downloads for
your existing Ecommerce Template stores. If you are not currently
using Ecommerce Templates then you might want to check out our
shopping cart software for Dreamweaver, Frontpage, CSS and Golive layouts as well as our design your own Generic
version.
We've started
off here with the User Manual, a range of buy and checkout buttons,
custom
payment
provider
integration
as well as files to update your admin if you want to use
UK counties or Australian / Canadian etc. provinces instead of
the US State
defaults. We hope to be adding more language files shortly
- but check back as we plan to make this a regular feature of
our store. If you have any suggestions for stuff you'd
like to see here, please get in touch.

User
Manual
Consisting of nine chapters we've compiled a downloadable
user manual - you can either view the content online by selecting
the "Open PDF File" icon or download the PDF file by
selecting
"Download ZIP file" for printing and viewing offline.
If you have just purchased the software, you will need the User
Manual
Version 5.9.

Spry Tabbed Panels (Version
5.8.0 minimum required)
The dynamic spry tabs allow you to add dynamic
content to the product detail page by showing off your product
descriptions in tabbed content that you users can access as they
choose. You will need to follow the set up instructions here after
downloading one of the following files.

HTML editor files
The HTML editor is a wysiwyg interface used in
the control panel to simplify the HTML formatting of product descriptions,
email messaging, content management system etc. The FCK Editor
has a lot more features, and we recommend using that over TinyMCE.
To enable the FCK Editor you will need this addition
to includes.asp
htmleditor="fckeditor"
and for the PHP version in includes.php
$htmleditor="fckeditor";
To enable the TinyMCE Editor you will need this
addition to includes.asp
htmleditor="tinymce"
and for the PHP version in includes.php
$htmleditor="tinymce";
Unzip the contents of the zip file and then upload
the contents of the vsadmin folder from the download to the vsadmin
folder on your server. After uploading the files and folders as
well as making the addition to the includes file you should be
presented with the HTML editor for the long and short product descriptions.
More information regarding the product admin page is available here.
If you require the full version with full source
code for the TinyMCE Editor, they can be obtained directly from Source

Buy and checkout graphics
All the stores come with "buy" and "checkout" buttons but we thought
you'd like to have more to choose from. You can download 10 sets
here, they are in .gif and .png format. Here's a small selection
of what you get:

Product review icons
The product
rating feature comes with default graphics
called reviewcart.gif, reviewcarthg and reviewcartg.gif
for the full image, half image and dimmed image. These should be
placed in your main images folder. You can make your own but we
have provided you with some here that you can use if you prefer.
These are just a sample of what's available in the zip file.

|
Download Icons |
In version 5.6.0 we added the ability to show ratings
on the products page with a link to the full reviews on the product
details page. The graphics here are smaller and called sreviewcart.gif,
sreviewcarthg and sreviewcartg.gif for the full image, half image
and dimmed image. These should also be placed in your main images
folder.

Country
specific files
By default the Ecommerce Plus shopping cart software
comes in English with all the US states listed for checking out
but we also have language and regional files for other countries.
All you need to do is place the languagefile.asp or languagefile.php
in your vsadmin/inc directory and place the updatestore.asp/updatestore.php
script in the root of your store, open it in your browser and click
the button. Make sure your download corresponds to your Ecommerce
Plus version - ASP for Windows servers / PHP for Unix or Linux
servers.
Please note that the Anglo language regional update
will swap the default USA States for Australian Provinces, Canadian
Provinces, Irish Counties, New Zealand Provinces, South African
Provinces, UK Counties or integrated US States + Canadian Provinces.
It also contains instructions on how to change USA specific text
such as Zip Code to that of your local region. The French update
will swap the US States for French Departements or French Canadian
Provinces if required and also contains a French language file
to change your store text to French.
Please read the notes
here for those updating their store from a previous version
and how to include changes in the language file |

Custom
payment processors
Using our custom payment provider option in the Payment Providers Admin page
you can hook up with the companies listed below. You can also use a second "email
type" set up that allows you to distinguish between manual payment methods.

Database utlity script
We have created a script that will update your database
product and / or category ordering. You can set your product ordering
by product name, id, sales quantity price and so on. Probably the
most interesting of these is the ordering by sales quantity so you
can put your best selling products first.
You can set the category ordering alphabetically
ascending and descending which can be useful for those that have
many categories
and don't
want to set the ordering manually.
You can also use this script to split the name in
the orders and customer address table into first name and
last name or to combine the first name and last name into a full
name. This is for use in conjunction with the asp
parameter / php
parameter
The PHP edit country names utility will allow you
to edit the names of the countries that appear in your admin and
checkout.
